and if you look at the other big bills that have been passed, the debt ceiling extension, sandy relief or violence against women act, it was about 25% to 40% of the republican caucus and then overwhelming number of democrats who passed those pieces of legislation. so it will be no different if gun reform passes, and immigration reform passes. >> you make a good point, alex. it's very similar to the debt negotiations for the grard bargain. if we're going to pass this, we need huge democratic marge orts, and that means our folks have to man up and woman up and accept a few things that aren't exactly like they want them, too. that's going to be the case on the debt deal and it will be the case on immigration deal. >> but congressman let me ask you, a huge part of this is because the republican party knows that you've ameliorated the image among latinos and hispanic, understanding they're notç monolithic voting blocs. when you have this sort of cross-debate between mod rats in the party, much more broad-minded in terms of their semantic and their actual legislation they're proposing. >>

that is the spirit in which i think the majority approaches the debt ceiling, to say, how are we going to tell the people that we're going to pay off the debt that we have now gone ahead and incurred. i think a little bit of forethought here, planning into the future, how are we going to pay the bills, is the emphasis. and i have always greed as the gentleman said, the debt ceiling something that is something that is necessary. we will bring a bill forward. i do think that we should be mindful of how we are going to tell the public we're going to go into the future and pay off these debts. as the gentleman has many children and grandchildren, he doesn't want his kids, nor do i want mine to be shouldering the debt and paying our bills. we should be really committing ourselves to not just borrowing more, not to just taking more from taxpayer dollars, because we have done a lot of that this year already. the the gentleman talks about the need to proceed with revenues. we already have bationed on some $50 billion of status revenues, taxes that are accounted for because of the fiscal cliff

and i've always agreed, as the gentleman said, the debt ceiling is something that is necessary for the operations of government. we'll bring a bill forward that will ensure that we don't go into default, but i do think that we should be mindful of how we're going to tell the public we're going to go in the future and pay off these debts. because as the gentleman has many children and grandchildren, he doesn't want his kids nor do i want mine to be shouldering the debt and paying our bills. we should be really committing ourselves not to just borrowing more, not to just taking more from taxpayer dollars because we've done a lot of that this year already. the gentleman talks about the need to proceed with revenues. we already have close to $650 billion i of additional static revenues, taxes that are accounted for because of the fiscal cliff deal. so it's not that there's no revenues in the mix here. so again i look forward to working with the gentleman. i appreciate his commitment to longevity in this country, sustaining economic growth or at least restarting it again so we can sustain i
